Stranger Things 4 Teaser

Production on the fourth season of Stranger Things was halted due to the pandemic back in March 2020, like so many other series. Luckily, filming started back up again in late September — which means that we’re going to get more from the Upside Down when the series returns sometime in 2022. But what is the new season going to be about, and when is it actually going to premiere?

The official Stranger Things Twitter account posted a video after filming began (way back in the beginning of March B.C. A mid-credits sequence in the finale showed two guards inside a Russian prison taking a prisoner from his cell to feed to a Demogorgon, making sure he was “not the American.” But after Harbour confirmed his return with a Valentine’s Day video featuring Hopper working on a railroad track in a snowy Russian gulag, series creators Matt and Ross Duffer confirmed that Hopper is the American in question. “It’s not all good news for our ‘American’; he is imprisoned far from home in the snowy wasteland of Kamchatka, where he will face dangers both human… and other,” the brothers confirmed in a press release.

On November 6, 2021, the streamer finally gave the update we have been waiting for: Stranger Things 4 will be dropping during the 2022 summer season, which could mean we’ll see another Independence Day premiere. While there’s still no premiere date, the powers that be at Netflix know that multiple years is way too long to go without any new Stranger Things content whatsoever — which is why they released a new (mysterious, of course) teaser in May hinting at some previously unrevealed information about season 4.

In March 2020, Netflix released a behind-the-scenes video of the cast’s Season 4 table read in Atlanta. The sweet retro-filtered footage showed all of the stars reuniting to go through the script for the first time together.

Stoffer told the site, I’ve got a role that we haven’t shot yet on Stranger Things… In June, the writers of Strangers Things shared a photo of a stack of scripts on Twitter, revealing, Stranger Things 4: the complete season.

With Stranger Things Season 4 turned upside down by COVID-19, fans can rest assured that the show will eventually go on — and stay on for longer than some had anticipated. In a new interview, series creators Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer shot down speculation that the delayed fourth season will be the Netflix phenom’s last.

Production on Season 4 of Stranger Things had been underway for “a couple of weeks” when the COVID-19 pandemic “swept in and we got shut down” back in March, co-star David Harbour recently revealed.

What Has Shut Down Production On The Upcoming Season Of The Beloved Netflix Original Series?

The coronavirus has shut down production on the upcoming season of the beloved Netflix original series. The wait for “Stranger Things” Season 4 is going to be even longer as Netflix has shut down production in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. Series producer and director Shawn Levy tells Variety in a new interview that Season 4 was one month into filming when the call came in Friday, March 13 to shut down production.

We shared the news with our cast and crew that we would be pausing production out of an abundance of caution. There were no sick crew members, no one was exhibiting symptoms, but it seemed like the right thing to do.” Levy calls the temporary shutdown a “bittersweet moment” and “intense” for the cast and crew as after four seasons of filming the set “feels familial for everyone.”

“When you’re shooting, you create this micro society, this community,” Levy said. “You’re aware of the world beyond, but in all of my years directing and producing, I’m hard pressed to come up with any comparisons for this truly global situation.” Levy said the first thing crew members asked when news broke the show would be suspending production was how they would be financially protected.

According to Levy, “Netflix has agreed to pay the crew for two 40-hour work weeks during the hiatus. I’m just happy that Netflix wants to do right by the health and well being of the people who make this show.” After Netflix suspended production March 13, the “Stranger Things” cast and crew “went their separate ways to wherever they thought they should in terms of social distancing and sitting out,” Levy said.

The show often takes over a year hiatus in between seasons, but the coronavirus shutdown means “Stranger Things” may not return for Season 4 until 2021. Sign Up: Stay on top of the latest breaking film and TV news! Sign up for our Email Newsletters here.

How Long Have Fans Been Flocking To The Fictional Town Of Hawkins, Indiana Since 2016?

Is Stranger Things season 4 cancelled? When discussing favourites with friends, family or other TV enthusiasts online, you often hear the same gems come up again and again. Created by the Duffer Brothers, fans have been flocking to the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana since 2016, eagerly lapping up generous servings of eighties nostalgia.

Is Stranger Things season 4 cancelled? No, Stranger Things season 4 is not cancelled. It is likely to premiere in 2021.

While fans will be thrilled to hear that the season isn’t cancelled, the production delays will likely result in the new episodes arriving later than expected. So, rather than early 2021, it’s possible that season 4 simply will drop later on in the year. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, streaming services and networks have axed a range of shows, so audiences were worried that Stranger Things may have fallen victim to the same fate.

Who Directs The First Two And Last Two Episodes Of A Season?

It’s not unusual for the remaining episodes of a TV series to be written while that season is still in production, but it does become a problem when that show’s writers are also the showrunners and directors. It’s why Matt and Ross Duffer usually direct the first two and last two episodes of a season – because in the middle, they’re busy writing the rest of the episodes. But because Stranger Things Season 4 was shut down due to the COVID-19 after just a couple months of filming, the Duffer Brothers had the chance to write the rest of the season during the forced hiatus.

The beloved Dustin actor pulled back the curtain on what it’s been like to make Stranger Things so far: “The goal was never to film before the show was finished being written, that’s just how it ended up happening the first three seasons. And the goal is [The Duffer Brothers] will direct and [then] write at home. They’ll be home and that’s when they’ll write and manage their workload that way, and how it’s always worked out is we’re on like episode 4 or 5 and we haven’t seen episode 6 and 7 yet, and we have no idea what’s gonna happen and they haven’t written all of it yet.

I don’t know if it’s the pressure, I don’t know if it’s them being up all night caffeinated and they just have really crazy frazzled brains that can write really weirdly.” But this year, when production was shut down, Matarazzo says the Duffer Brothers decided to finish writing all of Season 4 before they went back into production: “This year, because of COVID, there’s no excuse for them not to have the [season] written completely. When we went in for our first table read which was February of 2020 we expected to go right into filming and it was gonna be the same situation, they were gonna start with episodes all the way up through 5 and we were probably gonna do the same hiatus, but COVID hit and we only had like six episodes and so they were like, ‘we might as well finish.’”

It really is more of a guesstimation on when we’re gonna be filming next, when we’re gonna be wrapping up, when release is gonna be, all that jazz because we still don’t know on day-to-day if we’re gonna be filming next week. So because of that, there’s really no way to figure out when we’re gonna be wrapping.” In other words, it doesn’t sound like Season 4 will be wrapping — let alone releasing on Netflix — anytime soon.

There’s nothing else distracting them other than what we’re gonna do today while we’re directing, and I asked them, ‘Do you guys sleep at night?’ they’re like, ‘Literally we dream about directing this show. We go to sleep and we have dreams that we’re just directing this show,’ it takes up their entire minds when they’re making this. And I think it shows.”

Their installments are always strong, and it’ll be especially exciting to see how the entire season flows given that the bulk of production was underway with all scripts intact. Filming is still ongoing and Netflix has not yet announced a release date for Stranger Things Season 4, but this update from Matarazzo makes the wait that much more agonizing.

The sweet retro-filtered footage showed all of the stars reuniting to go through the script for the first time together.

Stoffer told the site, I’ve got a role that we haven’t shot yet on Stranger Things… In June, the writers of Strangers Things shared a photo of a stack of scripts on Twitter, revealing, Stranger Things 4: the complete season. In an interview with THR in August, Matt Duffer confirmed, We’ve had a lot more time to work on the scripts.

Stranger Things will feature a psychiatric hospital. Netflix has dropped the final teaser for the new season during its online Stranger Things day event.

With Stranger Things Season 4 turned upside down by COVID-19, fans can rest assured that the show will eventually go on — and stay on for longer than some had anticipated. In a new interview, series creators Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer shot down speculation that the delayed fourth season will be the Netflix phenom’s last.

“We know what the end is, and we know when it is. [The coronavirus pandemic] has given us time to look ahead, figure out what is best for the show. Starting to fill that out gave us a better idea of how long we need to tell that story.”

A Netflix rep declined comment. Production on Season 4 of Stranger Things had been underway for “a couple of weeks” when the COVID-19 pandemic “swept in and we got shut down” back in March, co-star David Harbour recently revealed. As far as a timetable for restarting production, “We don’t really know what the future holds,” he conceded at the time.

What Has Shut Down Production On The Upcoming Season Of The Beloved Netflix Original Series?

The coronavirus has shut down production on the upcoming season of the beloved Netflix original series. The wait for “Stranger Things” Season 4 is going to be even longer as Netflix has shut down production in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. Series producer and director Shawn Levy tells Variety in a new interview that Season 4 was one month into filming when the call came in Friday, March 13 to shut down production.

We shared the news with our cast and crew that we would be pausing production out of an abundance of caution. There were no sick crew members, no one was exhibiting symptoms, but it seemed like the right thing to do.” Levy calls the temporary shutdown a “bittersweet moment” and “intense” for the cast and crew as after four seasons of filming the set “feels familial for everyone.”

“When you’re shooting, you create this micro society, this community,” Levy said. “You’re aware of the world beyond, but in all of my years directing and producing, I’m hard pressed to come up with any comparisons for this truly global situation.” Levy said the first thing crew members asked when news broke the show would be suspending production was how they would be financially protected.

According to Levy, “Netflix has agreed to pay the crew for two 40-hour work weeks during the hiatus. I’m just happy that Netflix wants to do right by the health and well being of the people who make this show.” After Netflix suspended production March 13, the “Stranger Things” cast and crew “went their separate ways to wherever they thought they should in terms of social distancing and sitting out,” Levy said.

The show often takes over a year hiatus in between seasons, but the coronavirus shutdown means “Stranger Things” may not return for Season 4 until 2021. Sign Up: Stay on top of the latest breaking film and TV news! Sign up for our Email Newsletters here.

How Long Have Fans Been Flocking To The Fictional Town Of Hawkins, Indiana Since 2016?

Is Stranger Things season 4 cancelled? When discussing favourites with friends, family or other TV enthusiasts online, you often hear the same gems come up again and again. Created by the Duffer Brothers, fans have been flocking to the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana since 2016, eagerly lapping up generous servings of eighties nostalgia.

Is Stranger Things season 4 cancelled? No, Stranger Things season 4 is not cancelled. It is likely to premiere in 2021.

While fans will be thrilled to hear that the season isn’t cancelled, the production delays will likely result in the new episodes arriving later than expected. So, rather than early 2021, it’s possible that season 4 simply will drop later on in the year. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, streaming services and networks have axed a range of shows, so audiences were worried that Stranger Things may have fallen victim to the same fate.

Who Directs The First Two And Last Two Episodes Of A Season?

It’s not unusual for the remaining episodes of a TV series to be written while that season is still in production, but it does become a problem when that show’s writers are also the showrunners and directors. It’s why Matt and Ross Duffer usually direct the first two and last two episodes of a season – because in the middle, they’re busy writing the rest of the episodes. But because Stranger Things Season 4 was shut down due to the COVID-19 after just a couple months of filming, the Duffer Brothers had the chance to write the rest of the season during the forced hiatus.

The beloved Dustin actor pulled back the curtain on what it’s been like to make Stranger Things so far: “The goal was never to film before the show was finished being written, that’s just how it ended up happening the first three seasons. And the goal is [The Duffer Brothers] will direct and [then] write at home. They’ll be home and that’s when they’ll write and manage their workload that way, and how it’s always worked out is we’re on like episode 4 or 5 and we haven’t seen episode 6 and 7 yet, and we have no idea what’s gonna happen and they haven’t written all of it yet.

I don’t know if it’s the pressure, I don’t know if it’s them being up all night caffeinated and they just have really crazy frazzled brains that can write really weirdly.” But this year, when production was shut down, Matarazzo says the Duffer Brothers decided to finish writing all of Season 4 before they went back into production: “This year, because of COVID, there’s no excuse for them not to have the [season] written completely. When we went in for our first table read which was February of 2020 we expected to go right into filming and it was gonna be the same situation, they were gonna start with episodes all the way up through 5 and we were probably gonna do the same hiatus, but COVID hit and we only had like six episodes and so they were like, ‘we might as well finish.’”

It really is more of a guesstimation on when we’re gonna be filming next, when we’re gonna be wrapping up, when release is gonna be, all that jazz because we still don’t know on day-to-day if we’re gonna be filming next week. So because of that, there’s really no way to figure out when we’re gonna be wrapping.” In other words, it doesn’t sound like Season 4 will be wrapping — let alone releasing on Netflix — anytime soon.

There’s nothing else distracting them other than what we’re gonna do today while we’re directing, and I asked them, ‘Do you guys sleep at night?’ they’re like, ‘Literally we dream about directing this show. We go to sleep and we have dreams that we’re just directing this show,’ it takes up their entire minds when they’re making this. And I think it shows.”

Their installments are always strong, and it’ll be especially exciting to see how the entire season flows given that the bulk of production was underway with all scripts intact. Filming is still ongoing and Netflix has not yet announced a release date for Stranger Things Season 4, but this update from Matarazzo makes the wait that much more agonizing.

Production on the fourth season of Stranger Things was halted due to the pandemic back in March 2020, like so many other series. Luckily, filming started back up again in late September — which means that we’re going to get more from the Upside Down when the series returns sometime in 2022. But what is the new season going to be about, and when is it actually going to premiere?

Welcome to California (Photo by Netflix) Another month, another Stranger Things 4 teaser. It’s been some time since Eleven, Will, Jonathan, and Joyce relocated to California. If that spitball she gets hit with is any indication, her new high school experience isn’t all sunshine and roses.

The official Stranger Things Twitter account posted a video after filming began (way back in the beginning of March B.C. A mid-credits sequence in the finale showed two guards inside a Russian prison taking a prisoner from his cell to feed to a Demogorgon, making sure he was “not the American.” But after Harbour confirmed his return with a Valentine’s Day video featuring Hopper working on a railroad track in a snowy Russian gulag, series creators Matt and Ross Duffer confirmed that Hopper is the American in question. “It’s not all good news for our ‘American’; he is imprisoned far from home in the snowy wasteland of Kamchatka, where he will face dangers both human… and other,” the brothers confirmed in a press release.

On November 6, 2021, the streamer finally gave the update we have been waiting for: Stranger Things 4 will be dropping during the 2022 summer season, which could mean we’ll see another Independence Day premiere. While there’s still no premiere date, the powers that be at Netflix know that multiple years is way too long to go without any new Stranger Things content whatsoever — which is why they released a new (mysterious, of course) teaser in May hinting at some previously unrevealed information about season 4.

Stranger Things 4 will premiere on Netflix in Summer 2022.

When Does Stranger Things 4 Premiere?

Stranger Things 4 premieres in 2022. Netflix Netflix confirmed the fourth season back in 2019. The series seems to move beyond Hawkins’s borders, especially since Season 3 ended with Eleven and the Byers family moving out of town, followed by a post-credits scene in Russia, according to Entertainment Weekly.
